572 Moving Forward with Plans - Part 1

Friday

Hou Yi, looked at Anna who was still asleep on the bed. He knew they needed to get moving but given the appointment with the obstetrician the previous day, which had not been the best and where Anna had been told to slow down a little, Hou Yi wanted to let Anna rest longer.

He had been surprised that she was coping after what happened at Amanda and Tan's almost a fortnight ago.?They had come home and sat down talking. That afternoon they covered many things, including the reason for his conflict with King and his concerns about her health and safety. Anna, let loose on why she had issues with his behaviour. Clearing the air was necessary, and despite their disagreement they were able to understand the other's position.

The only shadow was Anna had not really coped emotionally seeing Lu Jinhu in court. She had video conferenced with Phillipa a few times since then, which made her feel better. Phillipa, along with her parents despite having been at the wedding had to race back to England Saturday night, as her grandfather had taken a turn for the worst, leaving Phillipa and her mother confronting a reality that they really did not want, he would die, her mother would inherit the title and Phillipa would become the heir.

But the problem was yesterday. Whey they left the obstetrician's office they came face to face with Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin, who was of over six months pregnant. She not only had to deal with the reality of his cheating being thrust in her face but the emotions of what he had done to her as well. All Anna wanted to do was cry and remain so close to him.

When Anna, last night had finally drifted off into a fitful sleep, Hou Yi quietly called Phillipa and asked her advice. The only recommendation was to stay close to her for a few days, and when she was ready to have Anna call her.

Reluctantly, Hou Yi leant over and woke Anna up, before carrying her into the ensuite so that she could shower while he went and selected clothes for her. The last thing he was going to do was let her work, but if she came into the office, she could at least stay in the suite attached to his office and wander down to the legal department if she really had to.

Thirty minutes later, having organised with the chefs for a couple of simply Egg and Bacon rolls each de-caffeinated coffee for Anna and a Tea for him, they were in the car heading to the office. Anna, once she had eaten her breakfast, handed Hou Yi the coffee and rested on his shoulder drifting off to sleep before they even reached the office. When they arrived, with the help of the bodyguards, Hou Yi carefully climbed out of the car and carried Anna into the building and up to his office before placing her on the bed to continue sleeping.

Given the ongoing issues within the legal department he messaged the Human Resources and legal departments along with Amanda and Jodie letting them know that Anna may not be in today. While he believed his wife, Hou Corporation's Lady Boss as some of his team had been calling her did not have to explain herself and absences as the head of the company he realised that bending the rules for his wife would see everyone demanding that the rules were bent for them.

When he was certain that Anna was comfortable, he left the suite and headed into his office to review the papers in advance of his teleconference with Yao Tan about then next phase of their plans with Lu Corporation. As he finished then Assistant Wang knocked on his door.Find authorized novels in Webnovel?faster updates, better experience?Please click .Comfor visiting.

"Boss, I forgot to tell you yesterday. CEO Yao rang and changed the teleconference with us to a face-to-face meeting and he is in the small meeting room with some guests. The head of the entertainment division has come in from studio city, and has been joined by Vice-CEO Ji, and two senior executives he said you wanted to review their performance of there as well."

Hou Yi, looked reluctantly at his suite door and was concerned about leaving to head to the meeting while Anna was asleep there. "How many are in the meeting room?"

"Fifteen, and when we get there in reality it will be overfilled."

Hou Yi paused, and then picked up a phone on his desk before dialling an internal number. Once it was answered he said "Amanda, I have a favour I need you and Jodie to take care of for me, and I blame your husband for this."

"What has he done now, Boss?"
